Although we are about 25 miles outside the south suburbs of Chicago, I would look at what we have in terms of suburban towns similar in size and demographics and say that suburban most closely fits my situation.

I’m not sure whether to answer “urban” or “suburban”. I live in a city, but it’s a small one. I guess some people would consider it a suburb, but it’s roughly fifty miles from the Big City and there’s plenty of rural area in between. If only “shadowy” were one of the choices!

Just last summer moved from Atlanta suburbs to rural Illinois, about an hour outside St. Louis. Quite a change!
That's after moving from Atlanta to Singapore and back in 2005.
So I've lived in cities of 4 million people (twice) and of 3500 people, within the last two years...

I guess it would be urban. My city of Hamilton has a pop. of over 500,000 about 45 min away from Toronto. Hamilton is like NJ to Toronto's NY  |

I chose suburban, though it´s not quite right. Neither is the indication Munich in my profile.
Munich is the place where I´m working at and writing 99% percent of my contributions to this forum. Though Munich is nowhere a near being a cosmopolitan city (I do not count our (in)famous Oktoberfest, guys ;D) it is indeed urban.
But I´m living in a very little, very rural village (some hundred denizens) outside Munich, about 20 miles from Munich.
So I`m somewhere in between, which should fit suburban.

Venice, CA, which is really part of the city of Los Angeles -- not really a suburb.

I live about 45 miles from Raleigh, NC. I'm sure some people would consider it rural but there are so many truly rural areas in NC that I would have to put us somewhere in between and go with suburban.

Just (& I mean JUST) outside the north end of the DC Beltway. Small, unincorporated town just north of College Park, MD. Can see & hear I-95 about 1/3 mile from our back porch.

I'm as Urban as can be, not only living in San Diego, but specifically the 'hip' [read: overpriced] neighborhood of North Park. The good thing is that I can walk everywhere I need to go in the neighborhood [liquor store, mexican restaurant, groceries, etc], and I'm lucky to only work 7 miles from home [unlike a lot of San Diegans, who seem to like to commute a lot].
If any of you guys are coming to SD for the big Comic Con, shoot me a PM and maybe we can meet up for a beer or something.

HB --
We took the Metro out to U of M a couple of years ago when we were on family vacation in DC. We often build MLB games and Div. I colleges into our vacations. We were fortunate that the Comcast Center and Cole Fieldhouse were open so we took a little self-tour.
I'll be back in DC in December at the USHMM, where I'm a Regional Educator based in the midwest.

Heh-- that's a bit of a hike from the College Park/UMD metro station to the actual campus, isn't it? "Well, here we are! . . . . whattaya mean we've gotta walk another 2-1/2 miles??"
Wow, what's the USHMM? That's quite an acronym.

Suburban, as I have been most of my life. I was an urbanite as a young proffesional, though.

Bournemouth, UK, but in the outskirts, so someway between urban and suburban
